3ademic Dean
President of academic affairs.
Becoming interested both in
more challenging work and in
returning to North Carolina,
he came to St. Mary’s.
“I’ve known about St. Mary’s
all my life,” commented Dr.

Although he has no personal
advisees, he says “My job is
to help the students graduate.
I’d like to help everyone.”
Stated Dr. Miller: “I really
enjoy being a dean, but I
wouldn’t want to give up teach
ing, either. I am thoroughly en
joying every aspect of St.
Mary’s.”
